CHRONIC FATIGUE

Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, ME and by many other names) is a complex and debilitating chronic illness that affects the brain and multiple body systems. This devastating illness affects more Americans than multiple sclerosis, AIDS or lung cancer. Although its name trivializes the illness as little more than mere tiredness, chronic fatigue immune deficiency syndrome brings with it a constellation of debilitating symptoms.

Chronic fatigue is characterized by incapacitating fatigue (experienced as profound exhaustion and extremely poor stamina) and problems with concentration and short-term memory. It is also accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as pain in the joint and muscles, unrefreshing sleep, tender lymph nodes, sore throat and headache.

Persons with chronic fatigue have symptoms that vary from person to person and fluctuate in severity. Specific symptoms may come and go, complicating treatment and the person's ability to cope with illness. Many symptoms are invisible to the doctor's eye, which makes it difficult for others to understand the vast array of debilitating symptoms with which such people contend.

HELPFUL NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE:

Primal Defense: Start with one caplet per day on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before or one hour after meals. Increase usage by adding one additional caplet per day (i.e. one caplet the first day, two the second day, three the third day and so on). Once your dosage is up to 12 caplets per day, stay on that amount for a minimum of 3 months and then begin to gradually decrease to a maintenance dosage of between three to six caplets per day. Primal Defense is best taken first thing in the morning and right before bedtime with eight ounces of pure water. Primal Defense may be taken with other nutritional supplements, but should be taken one hour apart from medications. If you experience symptoms of detoxification (i.e. increased elimination, loose stools, constipation, excess gas, flu-like symptoms or fever), reduce the dosage and work up slowly to 12 per day.

Omega-Zyme: Take one to three caplets with each meal or snack.

RM-10: Take nine caplets of RM-10 per day for 120 days on an empty stomach in divided doses. After symptoms have greatly improved slowly reduce intake to between two to five caplets per day.

FYI: Take six caplets two times per day on an empty stomach for 90 days followed by a maintenance dose of three to six caplets per day.

Perfect Food: Take two tablespoons or 5 caplets twice daily with eight ounces water or fresh vegetable juice.

Super Seed: Consume one serving twice per day, morning and evening, with eight or more ounces of purified water.

Goatein: The only protein powder on the market made from organically produced goat�s milk. This protein powder is partially pre-digested, low temperature dried and is usually well tolerated by those with food allergies and digestive problems. Take one to four tablespoons per day mixed in water, juice, smoothies, yogurt or can be used in baking. (For those with known milk allergies and/or lactose intolerance it is best to add Goatein once symptoms have begun to improve.)
